Introduction

Pull-Apart Pigs In A Blanket are a fun and delicious snack perfect for parties or family gatherings. These bite-sized treats feature cocktail weiners wrapped in seasoned pizza dough, baked to a golden brown. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauces for an irresistible appetizer.

A round white plate is filled with many small rolled pieces of golden-brown dough, each holding a shiny, reddish-brown mini sausage tightly inside. The sausages are placed upright, creating a dense layer of crispy dough wrapping each sausage in a circular pattern with slight cracks and browning revealing a crunchy texture. The plate rests on a white marbled surface, with a small white bowl of bright red ketchup partially visible at the top left. A bit of red and white checkered paper lies underneath the bottom right side of the plate. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Cooking spray
6 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
Pinch of kosher salt
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 (13.8-oz.) tube Pillsbury pizza dough
2 (12-oz.) pkg. cocktail weiners
Marinara, mustard, and ranch dressing, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Step 3: On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough and cut it into 2-inch by 1-inch rectangles (you should get 58 to 60 pieces).
Step 4: Brush the top of each dough rectangle with the butter mixture, then wrap one cocktail weiner in each piece. Pinch the seams to seal the dough around the weiner.
Step 5: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs upright in the prepared pan. They should be snug but not overcrowded, to allow the dough to bake properly. Brush the tops with any remaining butter mixture.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven until the dough is golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the pigs in a blanket cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.
Step 7: Serve warm with marinara, mustard, and ranch dressing for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, sprinkle a little shredded cheese inside the dough before wrapping the weiners.
Try swapping cocktail weiners for mini sausages or vegetarian alternatives for a twist.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture.
You can prepare these a few hours ahead and reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes before serving.

Storage

Store leftover pigs in a blanket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes until heated through and crisp. Avoid microwaving to maintain the dough’s texture.

FAQs

Can I use crescent roll dough instead of pizza dough?

Yes, crescent roll dough works well for pigs in a blanket, offering a slightly flakier texture. Just adjust baking time as needed since crescent dough can brown faster.

Can I freeze pigs in a blanket before baking?

Absolutely. Arrange the wrapped weiners on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
